FAQ's

1. Why join Strike Force?

More than just kicking and punching, we care for the whole person and take our art and commitment to our communities seriously.  Quite frankly the Strike Force Karate Association (SFKA) is not for everyone.  It is designed for those:

· Who have a serious desire to grow in their art

· Who want to be exposed to other martial arts styles without the pressure to change from their own style.

· Who want to partner with other martial artists, of like mind, in order to make a positive impact in their communities.

· Who want to fellowship in a friendly atmosphere with like minded people.

2. Do I have to change my style?

NO. We at SFKA respect and welcome all styles of martial arts.  In fact, style diversity is highly valued because we can learn from each other.  We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.  We value the diversity that comes from experience, rank, race, gender, ethnicity, nationally and religion.  Our diversity is our strength.

3. What is the structure of SFKA?

SFKA is divided into two arms.  The martial arts side is headed by a NIM (highest ranking authority) and several style heads.  The NIM and the style heads are at least 8th degree and have at least 30 years of martial arts experience.  They are charged with maintaining the martial art integrity, discipline and diversity and developing programs/seminars to enhance our education.  All promotions are sanctioned by the NIM and his/her board of style heads.

The business side is managed by a board of Directors.  Although rank is not a prerequisite to serve on the board all voting members must be a martial artist.  There are advisors that do not have to be martial artists.  Among other things, this board is charged with furthering the business of the organization, administering organizational contracts, managing the community  of students.

5. What does SFKA want to do?

We want to be a significant source of positive change by being of service to the students, instructor and the community.

We want to expose interested students to a variety of martial arts styles that are taught by highly respected and experienced martial arts.
